Show cards.

Hi Everyone

Welcome to the new followers or blogglies as we are now calling us all lol (cross between bloggers and lovelies haha) a word that dropped onto my tongue last week haha. ( bit like dribble ) lol

I thought Id show a card from the recent show or 2  as I know you don't get much of a look on air.
I am off to hospital today to have the ankle checked so I though you may enjoy these. Both these cards on today's twofer were the demo's from the show too.

 This one had a coating of clear embossing powder on the scissors and thimble  etc. The one on the show I left Matt.
 A little close up on the fab scissors with the tiny little flowers etc., You can also see the texture on the paper etc which is lovely.
 The lovely sentiments to fit with the sewing theme went so well too.
 And of course the ribbon rose made from the crochet Ribbon in white.

The 2nd card I demo'd.
 I love this (my fav colour mix at the moment of course.
 This was the one I cut the die to make a square from a rectangle and you can see the gorgeous Sewing machine die cut.
In this picture you can see the lovely sentiment a couple of homemade stick pins and the rest of the die cuts.

I hope you liked them both, I haven't done full tutorials for these two as you saw me do them on the show but of course if you would like a break down let me know.

Have a great Tuesday and I will see you soon.

Hugs

Kim

  1. Morning Kim, I hope everything goes smoothly at the hospital today, my fingers are crossed !!
    Fabulous that you are showcasing here your demo cards, I truly loved watching, gorgeous colours, fabulous die-cuts and the sentiments are delightful. We are spoilt with this 'two-fer'.
    Enjoy your day after the hospital, I am relaxing this morning as I spent Saturday doing my front garden, Sunday after Church doing next door's front garden, and yesterday I was walking round Liverpool in the morning, and doing my back garden in the afternoon. My back is complaining bitterly haha, I forget my age !!! So I'm trying to relax this morning before going linedancing this afternoon. I have made a 'Wedding' card for one of the linedance teachers, a large one so everyone can sign it, I think she will 'love' it, I will email a piccie of it when it's finished.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Love those little scissors, when I was a kid I had some silver ones like that, from my Nan ,they were old, but now over the years they have vanished!

  7. Hi Kim. Thank you for giving us a chance to see these cards up close, it is so frustrating when you just get a glance of them on screen. I love this two-fer, both cards are wonderful. Such rich colours and papers. All of the bits and bobs really add so much interest, the scissors are gorgeous.
    I hope your hospital visit goes well, I will be thinking of you : )
    Patricia, you have been busy haven't you! Enjoy relaxing this morning. It will be good to see the wedding card : )
    Have a good day Kim and my fellow Blogglies. Take care.

    How good it is to have a proper look at the cards you demo on TV,as you and the others have said we don't get to see them for long, especially when you've taken the time to make them.....they are such wonderful creations.
    Hope all goes well at the hospital today.
    Love the 'Blogglies' name!

    Hi Kim,
    hope it all goes better than expected for you today as the hospital - you've certainly deserved a bit of good news!
    Your two cards today are, as ever, absolutely lovely. I watched your shows on TV and am only sad that only one of my friends is into sewing(quilting), so won't be buying those stamps/dies.
    LOVE the stickpins.
    Keep up the good work, and ELEVATE THAT ANKLE! (I suppose not at the same time though lol).
    Hugs, Rose

  13. Both cards are lovely and can see that I'd use the dies etc for my crafty friends Sadly I missed the demo of the second card and not caught up yet So how did you "colour" the sewing machine (the black/gold one) Hope wait wasn't too long (I guess it was our notorious slow ortho clinic at our local hosp) and that all is going as it should be Take care x

  15. Evening Kim, hope all went well for you at the hospital today. Thanks for showing these 2 cards, I saw them on the TV but it's great to be able to take time to study them up close, especially after all your hard work. Been gardening yesterday and today so my legs ache a bit now and I'm on Granny duty tomorrow so don't think I will be getting much crafting done this week.
